Present Continuous Tense Positive/Negative

Present Continuous Tense Positive/Negative

By Mr. Mohd Ikmal

The formula for Present Continuous Tense

Subject + verb-to-be + verb-ing

Example:

Ali is sleeping.

PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE POSITIVE

means that the sentence is a "yes" or "agree" or "correct".

He is eating a burger.

They are playing football.

PRESENT CONTINUOUS TENSE NEGATIVE

means that the sentence is a "no" or "disagree" or "incorrect".

We put "not" after the verb-to-be (am/is/are)

It can also be simplified or short-formed like these:

is not => isn't

are not => aren't

am not => am not (no change)

He is not eating a burger.

He isn't eating a burger.

They are not playing football.

They aren't playing football.
